THE MOKHINQ OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, MAJaCH- 17, 1900.
-ir
COMMERCIAL AND
Ttwre -was a fairly good trade In the, whole
sale dlsu-ict yesterday, with local retailers re
plenishing stocks for the Saturday trade. Re
ceipts of produce were .much heavier than
"were expected, considering the fine -weather,
which la affording such a good opportunity for
farm work. Potatoes came in more freely
than they have for several days, a ingle boat
from down the Columbia bringing over 10(W
sacks. The prloo Is weakening under the heavy
receipts and an easier demand from Califor
nia. Butter -and eggs are still firm, and chick
ens are not coming in plentifully enough tc
meet the demand. Pork and veal are dull and
difficult to move. The California steamer ar
riving Inkiest evening brought a large con
signment f garden truck, which will be on
the street Ahla morning. .

PORTLAXD MARKETS.
Grain, Flour, Etc.
The local wheat market Is holding steady. In
sympathy with other markets, and with Just
about a sufficient demand to take up every
thing that Is offering. The prices paid Tor
wheat seem to be based on what ships were
worth earlier In the season, and not on what
they could be secured for now. Tor Walla "Walla,
K63VjC Is paid, and Valley Is moving In a
small way at 5253c Th? .Eastern and Euro
pean markets were stronger yesterday, show
ing apparent Indifference to the big Argentine
shipments, which again reached 2,000,000 bush
els for the -week, making a total of over 10,
600,000 bushels for the past four week.
Freights are firm, with 42s Qd45s asked for
April-May ships, and nothing less than 40s
for new-crop ships.

TfEW TOHK STOCK MARKET.
Trading on n Very Small Scale, "With
Specialties Predominating.
NTJW YORK. March 10. "Whatever signifi
cance attached to today's stock market was of
a negative character. Trading In the aggre
gate was on a small scale, and. even at that
was congested In a few of the specialties. Third
Avenue continued to burt a large share of
attention, and was the only stock on the list
with any considerable range In price fluctua
tion. After an early decline this stock moved
upward over 0 points, and closed with a net
gain of 2. Sugar was active, but showed a
comparatively narrow range, and ended the
day with a small net gain. People's Gas more
than retrieved an early decline, and Pacific
Mall was notably weak. Otherwise the deal
ings were small, price fluctuations narrow and
the list of stocks dealt in a short one. That
the general tone was firm was probably due to
the fact that the bear traders bought stocks
to cover short contracts.
There was no evidence of any outside specu
lative demand, but there was some Investment
buying on a small scale. Probably the bears
were Induced to cover by the prospect that to
morrow's bank statement may fall slightly
.short of being as weak as was feared. The
2Cew Tort Eubtreasury mdde a email contribu
FINANCIAL NEWS
tion today to the cash resources of the banks.
This is the first time this has happened in
over three weeks, and brings down the losica
by the banks for the week on Subtreceury
operations to $4,307,000. compared with $6,600.
600 last -week. Today's gain by the banks Is
due to the disbursement on pensions.
By the currency movement by express to the
interior, a net loro by the banks is Indicated
of only about $750,000. compared with $2,500,000
last week. "Without allowing for the movement
by registered mall, the loss of the banks on all
accounts la therefore only a little over $5,000,
000, compared with nearly $10,000,000 last
week. The changes In the loan account are
largely guesswork. Some of the banks called
loans during the week, but, on the other hand,
the borrowing of money to buy Government
bonds continues. The hardening of New York
exchange at Chicago Is tvsld to be due to the
transfer of funds to liquidate loans contracted
by "Western banks for buying Government
bonds in New York.
These doubtful elements in the outlook some
what modified the conviction of professional
traders that the surplus reserve of the banks
are certain to be wiped out tomorrow. Money
on call was In good supply for most of the day
at from 4 to 4 per cent, and the late flurry
was accompanied by rather palpable manipu
lation, the rate quickly jlcldlng under the of
ferings brought out. But, whatever may re
main of the surplus. It is certain to be email.
The Impression is general, however, that to
morrow's statement will show the low-"water
mark In the reserves, and the process of re
plenlshmbent will begin to show the effect, next
week.
The dormant high-grade bonds were dealt In
nt advancing prices. All other points were un
changed. Total sales were $2,075,000. United
States old 4s declined hi, per cent, and the Oi
Vt per cent in the bid price.

NEW YORK. March 10. The Commercial Ad
vertiser's London financial cablegram says:
The markets here were at a complete stand
still today, the members, devoting their atten
tion to decorating the exchange for SL Pat
rick's Day. Dearer money Is feared, as new
loans are coming out which have been kept
back for the war loan. West Australian an
nounces one for $1,000,000, and the India and
London County Councir are coming In for large
loans. The war loan was weak today, the
premium being 11 5-10 lower. Transactions
in It were heavy. Speculators are disappointed
at what hey regard as the comparative small
news of the applications. Americans were stag
nant, with the others. Anacondas were still
weak on litigation. Paris supported Tlntos.
The bank lost 300.000 gold engaged for the
Cape and 15,010 for Soutn America. It bought
33,000 in bars. Money was steady and the de
mand fair. Bills were a shade easier. Silver
was firm on the French tender of 20,000 kilos.
The copper fortnightly statistics show stocks
up 23 tons and supplies 03 tons.

for May wheat showed an advance of c
over yesterday's closing price, May starting at
00!i07c Traders who sold yesterday in an
ticipation of another weak Friday opening on
account of heavy Argentine receipts were dis
agreeably jjurprised by the figures from that
country, showing shipments 7P0.OO0 bushels les
than lait week, and made haste to get under
cover. Overshadowing everything else of Influ
ence in the market, however, were reports of
extensive damage to winter wheat caused by
the present cold wave. Iv was known that the
Western wheat fields are practically bare of
know protection, and the .rapidly' sinking ther.

mometer brought conviction to shorts fnat the
damage reports were not exaggerated.
The opening advance showed sufficient profit
to some holders, and realizing caud fi tem
porary reaction to CGCCc for May. but In
side 'of 15 minutes after the opening the mar
ket began Jumping under a vigorous demand,
the advance pot being checked until May had
reached C7gG7Xc. By tnat time the edge of
the demand had worn off. and a tendency ta
take profits caused a slight set-back for a time,
selling being increased by the weakness shows
in -corn at that time. The market gradually
became exceedingly dull, with trading confined
almost entirely to local op-mtors. and the price
kept within a narrow range, generally around
G7c for May.
Toward the close the market again became
firm, with a slight increase in the volume of
business, caused by renewed reports of croy
damage. May got back to G7iic, .the market
closing firm at that figure.
Corn was fairly active and Irregular. The
market here opened firm and slightly higher,
mainly in sympathy with wheat, but price
gradually gave way to persistent selling. Later
in the, secsion the market rallied, with wheat,
and at the close "was steady at a shade ad
vance for the day. May closed a shade higher,

The market for oats was absolutely at a
standstill. May clcssd unchanged.
Provisions were quite active and strong. H03
prices were the highest of the season, and
packers bought liberally on account. Provision
stocks showed no Increase, and this and the
strength of wheat had considerable influence on
trading, the demand being good all day. May

"CHRISTIAN SCIENCE."
Its Xame a "Misnomer" and Its Creed
a "Satanic Deceit."
PORTLAND, March 13. (To the'Edltor.)
"Christian Science" Is a misnomer. In
the first place, there is hardly any excuse
for calling It a science. But be that as
it may. It seems to bo a weakness of this
age to label every cult and practice "sci
ence" and "scientific" So it may be that
Mrs. Eddy Just followed the fashion when
she called her free translation and re
touching of ancient Eastern cults by a
name that would at once please a people
with so great a notion of being scientific,
and at the same time religiously accepta
ble to a "Western public, whose favor this
new faith courted. This alone that Chris
tian Science, so-called, is & conglomera
tion of pagan ctilts and promiscuous non
sense, with just enough coating of Chris
tian sentiment to make the compound slip
down the throats of careless Christian
professors is enough to stamp it a fraud1
on the face of it.
The recent pleasing lecture of Judge
Ewing had scarcely in it a hint of a bear
ing on the subject ho was supposed to.
speak on. His speech went around and
abovo it till it got nigh out of sight. It
was just a nice speech along general lines
that no one could differ from, him on. And
yet he was supposed to speak on "Chris
tian Science" and to tell us what it is.
Now, why is this? Is it not that it is
understood at headquarters that to put it
plump down to the American "people, so
they could not help seeing It with their
bare eyes, as Christian Science teaching,
that there is nothing at all In the world
of what we hear and see? That we are,
materially, nothing at all ourselves noth
ing but imaginations walking about? Our
wants and needs are nothing. Our ills and
pains' and afflictions aro nothing but a
bundle of lies, or, if they aro
anything at all, they aro tho legitimate
offspring of backbiting and malice, envy
and evil thoughts, wherewith we have
saturated, poisoned and thus diseased
these material nothings of ours. Is it not
that the leaders of this propaganda, now
assuming such pretentious proportions
throughout the land, realize that such a
draught as they offer will have to be got
ten down the throats of "Western peoplo
unawares, or it will be rejected at the
very sight of it?
Yet if It were only a question of the pub
lic swallowing one dose of nonsense, more
or less, we might hold our peace and let
it learn its lesson from experience. But
there Is another and a far more serious
side to this question. It is this: Back of
all tho old Theosophy and all the home
made nonsense, and permeating the entire
fabric of its structure aye, and neces
sary to its existence lie, couched In sub
tle language, murderous attacks on every
corner-etone of the Christian faith!
It denies sin and consequently Christ's
atonement for sin, holding him simply as
a metaphysical healer like themselves.
It considers man as a sort of God-man,
a being that by simply exercising his own
will, after a process of mystic hocus-pocus
of their prescription, can do the same
works that our Master did aye, and even
greater ones!
In short, as por Christian Science, there
is nothing at all impossible to man that
he wills to do. He may live forever in
his flesh and bono body if ho so choose, for
as there is no sin so there is no death.
But, when death is nothing and ?ln is
nothing, and tho body Is nothing, then
what Is what and what Is any
thing? And what is it ye are preach
ing to, and what Is It about, where there
Is nothing anywhere and everywhere there
is nothing?
Christian Science, when nothing is held
back of it, is the same- old story, put in
pretty much the same way as of old,
which Satan 'came to man in Eden with,
and wherewith he succeeded in deceiving
him so completely. "Ye shall not surely
die, for God doth know that In the day
ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall bo
opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing
good and evil."
There has always been something fasci
nating for man in the idea of becoming
as God (It had a fascination for Satan be
fore man with an unhappy result for him
self; that is, of becoming such In some
way independent of God himself, while
the suggestion of becoming so In God's
appointed way rouses at once antagonism
In his eouL
It is the human nature, marked from
the fall in Eden with the subtleness of
tho serpent, and with his willful pride and
hatred of his Maker, that tries in ways
Innumerable to shake off all responsibility
to God and to assert himself as a God
unto himself. It is tho eating of a little
fruit of the tree of knowledge of gaod and
evil, over and over again, that puffs man
up. then throws him down, a heloless
wreck, and It is the passing of such knowl
edge, from such a source, under the name
of Christian Science, that we as Christians
should not tolerate.
As an Individual Christian and believer
in him whom Gcd hath sent to bo a pro
pitiation for man's sins, and through whom
alone we have, eternal life, if we believe
in hJro, I raise this voice of protest
Steamship Co.
against the evil use o.f a name that is. sa
cred, to every one who is a disciple in
heart.
Terfch Theosophy if 'you must; preach
Buddhism to the end of your days, ff
you like, and label your compound "sci
ence" if you choose;, but do- not label it
"Christian." As It, stands, now, it is a He,

Which, does not belong to you.
The Christian religion is a unique re
ligion; It has nothing In common' with re
ligions of any human-made source.
Fundamentally It is directly opposite to all
of them. It is the living God's plan for
saving fallen" man God's way. Human
made religions are Invariably man's own
plan for saving man Irian's wdys. The
two do not blend cannot be made to blend.
Keep them apart. The Christian religion
does jiot need and does not want any help
from you or from any other foreign source,
and it cannot lend Itself to support .any
thing that Is out of harmony with it. It
is full and complete in itself. It does not
exchange compliments does not Tecognlze
any man-made religion as holding any sav
ing power whatever. It asks no quarter
of such and gives none. It knows of no
compromise, howover plausible man may
make It, that it for an Instant would en
tertain. Hands off your neighbors' property and
stand on your own merit. If you have any.
